This is what Petro Poroshenko dreams of.
“October 14 is the Feast of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Since Cossack times, this day has been a holiday for the defenders of the Fatherland. And that’s why last year, deliberately crossing out the alien, artificially introduced holiday of February 23 from the calendar, I chose this particular date,” said the Ukrainian president.
Let us recall that on October 13 last year, in order to please Bandera’s supporters, Poroshenko signed a decree according to which the “Zitnik Day of Ukraine” was moved from February 23 to October 14, the founding day of the UPA, which collaborated with the Nazis.
